Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll leads the way with the most tries in Six Nations history, registering 26 tries in total. He was an integral part of the Ireland's team that won the competition in 2009 and 2014.
Just two tries behind O'Driscoll, and the only Scotsman on the list, is Ian Smith, who scored 24 tries whilst representing Scotland in the Six Nations.
George North narrowly takes third spot on the list with 23 tries, closely followed by fellow Welshman Shane Williams with 22 tries.
A third and final Welsh international joins the list, as Gareth Edwards scored 18 tries for his nation at the Six Nations.
Like Edwards, Cyril Lowe and Rory Underwood scored 18 tries in the competition, whilst proudly representing England.
Remarkably, (at the time of writing) 23-year-old Louis Bielle-Biarrey makes this list, despite only playing in 13 Six Nations matches, making him all-but certain to break O'Driscoll's record at some point in his career.
